    Every success response has the form `{ "data": ..., "meta": { "request_id":
    "...", "as_of": "..." } }`, where `as_of` is the time of the response. Every
    error response has the form `{ "error": { "code": "...", "message": "..." },
    "meta": { "request_id": "..." } }`, and some errors have more fields beside
    `code` and `message`.


    The `request_id` is also in the `x-request-id` response header. When you
    write to hello@numi.sh, quote it.

            - `unauthorized`: the request has no API key, or an account route
            has no session.

            - `invalid_key`: the key is not valid, or it was revoked.

            - `rate_limit_exceeded`: the account is at the request limit of its
            plan for the minute or the day, or the IP address is at its limit
            for the minute.

            - `bad_request`: a parameter is missing or wrong, or the body is not
            valid JSON or is too large.

            - `not_found`: nothing matches the request.

            - `plan_required`: the plan of the account does not include the
            endpoint, such as on-demand extraction on the sandbox plan.

            - `sandbox_restricted`: the request is for a company outside the
            sandbox, with a sandbox key.

            - `key_limit`: the account has as many active keys as its plan
            allows.

            - `conflict`: a checkout for an account that is on the Builder plan
            already, or the billing portal for an account with no subscription.

            - `internal_error`: the server failed. When you write to
            hello@numi.sh, quote the request id.

            - `service_unavailable`: the server is not configured for the
            feature, such as accounts, billing or bulk files.
